If you are looking for delicious coffee and food, this is the place for breakfast or lunch. We have tried their coffee, crepes and pastries. My favorite was their Dubai crepe, so delicious! Service was exceptional and we loved whole ambience of this place!

Hello everyone! Thanks for reading my reviews and subscribing to my updates! I have over 6 million views. Today my wife and I visited this cafe. This cafe is really a surprise in Palantine. The cafe has a beautiful European design, very clean. The coffee is real, the pastries are very tasty. We were given cards for a return visit. We will definitely come back and I recommend you to visit!

Terrible. A waste of time and money. Seriously.

I'd give zero stars if it was an option. I also very rarely give negative reviews... but this place deserves one.

We went in and asked if they had golden tea. The girl behind the counter said yes. So I ordered two large, a slice of apricot oatmeal cake, and a passion fruit Boba. The place was empty but two people who had obviously been there for a while.

Three high school girls came in right behind my daughter and I... like us, they hadn't been there before.

We waited 15 minutes for our complete ticket because the girl behind the counter was too busy talking to the three other girls. Who each ordered after taking time to decide what drink, and then received their lattes and such before we got our two teas and cake order.

Once we actually received our order, we were missing one tea, so we waited again for the second... Only to walk out with two, what would be best described as small hot waters with single tea bags that are peach flavor and happen to make the water a yellow/orange. They aren't even ginger or turmeric?!

The apricot oatmeal cake tastes like a C- grade home economics baking project. It's gross... under cooled on the top and somehow over cooked on the bottom. It's all tragic. (The Boba was meh)

There were at least three people working there, a woman and 2 girls. So it wasn't that they were understaffed.

The tea is the thing that upsets me most. It's appalling.

I wasted $21 (and stupidly gave a tip) to wait 15 mins for nothing more than regret. Dumb. Note... the tea was so hot we couldn't drink them for 15 minutes. Rediculous. So when I finally got to taste it, I was already at home. Otherwise, I'd have asked for my money back.

Keep your money and go to Blu Fig in Long Grove or CoCo & Blu in Arlington Heights. Those are coffee shops.

I had such a wonderful experience here! Everyone is incredibly friendly and helpful, making you feel right at home. The food is absolutely amazing—healthy, homemade, and full of flavor. The place itself is clean, cozy, and very pleasant, perfect for sitting down and enjoying a delicious cup of coffee. Highly recommend! 🥰

This place is so nice and clean! I love going new places and trying new food and this was it! Best crepes I ever had! I heard the paninis are great to so I will have to go again and try!

I recently visited this breakfast spot, and I couldn't be happier with the experience! Previously a coffee shop, it has flourished under new management and ownership into a delightful breakfast destination. The decor is incredibly beautiful, creating a warm and inviting atmosphere.

Though the menu is limited, everything they serve is absolutely worth trying. We sampled the pierogies, avocado toast, avocado pita sandwich, and several bakery items. Everything tasted really good! Yes, it's a bit on the pricier side, but the quality and flavors make it worth every penny.

If you're looking for a fantastic breakfast in a gorgeous setting, this place is a must-visit. I can't wait to go back and try more of their delicious offerings!

Come here if you want a peaceful atmosphere. Great food! Try the egg and bacon panini! Maybe you can also practice your piano skills while enjoying a coffee? 🤫
